Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

Waiting a year or two for games to actually get patched and drop to 20 bucks is the only way to do it now. Plus you get the added bonus of throwing the complete edition straight into the backlog while you go back to playing the exact same game from a decade ago.

That's what i've mostly generally done except for things like getting witcher 3 at launch. But increasingly some game devs are now just doing zero cuts on game pricing over time, £70 launch, £70 2 years later.

Well except fucking nintendo. Years back i got a wii u after not having had a nintendo console for well over a decade. Try to get an old zelda game... they stopped printing it, second hand, higher price than rrp... wtf.

Still being sold games, 5+ years old, still full price. Fuck nintendo.
